At this moment, in the court.

A few days have passed, and these ministers are still struggling with the matter of saving Qin Ming, and there are some methods, which have been said back and forth countless times, but they can't be implemented.

This embodies a word, drag!

That's right, it's not that they really can't think of a way, it's that most of the ministers are procrastinating.

Save Qin Ming?

It is estimated that in the entire court, there are no more than ten officials who really think that people like Qin Ming should be rescued.

These ten are still slightly related to Qin Ming, such as trusting the Hubu Shangshu and the Shilang, as well as the Ministry of Rites and the Criminal Department Shangshu who turned the war with Qin Ming into a jade silk.

Except for these limited ministers, no one wanted Qin Ming to come back.

At this moment, the military department Shangshu spoke:

"Your Majesty, this battle is not easy to fight, our soldiers and horses themselves are guarding their own places and border passes, if we really want to declare war on the island country, squeezing out soldiers and horses will be detrimental to all places and border passes.

Besides, our soldiers and horses lack experience in water warfare, and they need a large number of ships, so it is not easy to attack the island nation. ”

The emperor rubbed his forehead and said with some anger:

"What can I do if I don't fight? How many days has it been? You can't think of a good idea? If you can't fight for a while, and you can't compromise for a while, what do you want me to do? ”

The ministers below stopped talking, all they wanted was to do nothing, just let Qin Ming be trapped in the island country, and it was better to die in the island country.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, the emperor asked the second princess: "Shuang'er, what do you think?" ”

"Father, son...... There is no way! In the eyes of the second princess, it is not clear whether Qin Ming and her are friends or enemies.

So, she chose neutrality.

This made the emperor completely speechless.

fights, civil and military officials do not agree, and it is indeed difficult to fight.

It is also impossible to compromise the island country to give him a city, after all, it will endanger the Chu country.

Negotiation?

The emperor is not a fool, let these people go to the island country to talk, Qin Ming is even more helpless.

For a while, he had no choice.

In fact, at this time, everyone almost told the emperor that Qin Ming would not be saved.

Of course, sooner or later, someone will have to say it.

At this moment, an old courtier in front of him came out and said:

"Your Majesty, if you save Qin Ming, you will be trapped in a crisis in the Chu State. According to the old minister, it is better not to save him, sacrifice him alone, and not let the conspiracy of the island country succeed! ”

The emperor frowned, looked at the old man and said, "Taifu, do you really think so?" ”

The old lady spoke: "Your Majesty, you should focus on the society of the country, although Qin Ming has merit, there is nothing to save him at this moment." If you want to save him, no matter what you do, you will endanger the Chu State. ”

As she spoke, the old lady bowed down, as if she was begging the emperor.

The emperor's face was not good-looking, and he got up and said, "Taifu, let's be even!" ”

Taifu is an auxiliary minister of the imperial court, an official residence, a high position but no real power, and is the emperor's teacher.

Although he has no real power, he is highly respected.

Therefore, the emperor should also respect him for three points!

At this moment, the old lady asked the emperor to give up Qin Ming and prevent the island country from succeeding, although it made the emperor angry, but it was not easy to say anything about him.

The old lady did not get up, but knelt down directly: "The old minister asks Your Majesty to put the country's society first, not to easily send troops to the island country, and not to cede the coastal city to the island country." ”

As soon as these words came out, almost all of the more than 60 civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty knelt down and shouted: "Please Your Majesty should put the country's society first!" ”

At the same time, on the military attaché's side, more than a dozen officials knelt down: "Please Your Majesty take the country's society as the priority!" ”

At this point, among the 100 officials of the Manchu Dynasty, only a dozen civil officials are still standing, and there are still more than 30 military attaches standing.

Among the civil officials, not only the Taifu knelt, but also the Taishi and Taibao, including the left and right prime ministers, several scholars and so on.

The emperor gritted his teeth, he didn't expect so many ministers to kneel down and force him so much.

Do you really want to give up Qin Ming?

He was very embarrassed, he had already regarded Qin Ming as his own son, how could he give up?

So, he was ruthless, even if he was working against hundreds of officials, he would use force to force the island country to release Qin Ming.

So he said, "Are you forcing me?" Is it a demonstration for me? ”

Prime Minister Zuo spoke: "Your Majesty, the ministers just ask Your Majesty to put the country's affairs first, and there is no need to make my Chu State ...... for the sake of a mere Qin Ming."

"What a mere Qin Ming, it turns out that I, Qin Ming, am just a mere Qin Ming in the eyes of all adults?"

Before Prime Minister Zuo's words could speak, a hearty voice came in from outside the main hall.

When everyone heard this voice, they were stunned for a moment.

Then, everyone looked at the entrance of the main hall in confusion.

There, Qin Ming, who was wearing an official robe and had a majestic face, strode in with his sleeves flicked up.

Everywhere he passed, the officials showed surprise, and their faces became ugly.

He walked a few steps to the middle of the court, and under the astonished gaze of countless eyes, he opened his mouth and said to the emperor above:

"Your Majesty, Chen, you're back, these days, I've made you worry and embarrassed!"

This is very serious, as if a child who went out to worry his father has returned!

The moment the emperor saw Qin Ming, there was an indescribable sense of relief and joy in his heart.

He was very worried and a little powerless these days.

As an emperor, there are many things he wants to do but can't, such as the scene when he was just forced by hundreds of officials.

Now, seeing Qin Ming come back safe and sound, he was finally relieved.

"Sure enough, you're still the guy who has repeatedly surprised you, it's good to be back!" The Emperor took a deep breath before speaking.

Qin Ming smiled, then his face sank, glanced at the many officials who were still kneeling, and said:

"However, my return made it difficult for many people present to accept it, right? Do you all want me Qin Ming to die in the island country? It's a pity, my Qin Ming has a big life, and I can't die. ”

The officials got up one after another, and then Prime Minister Zuo smiled and said to Qin Ming:

"What did Lord Qin say about this? As courtiers, we naturally want Your Majesty to put the world first. Lord Qin, you have to understand! ”

"Understand? Of course I understand, I understand! Qin Ming looked at Prime Minister Zuo and said:

"Prime Minister, I don't know if it is you who is taken away this time, we should save it?"

Prime Minister Zuo Cheng said righteously: "Naturally, don't save it, the prime minister died for the Jiangshan Society of Chu State, it's worth it!" ”

Qin Ming looked at the old lady again: "Master Taifu, you must be so loyal, right?" ”

"That's natural, if I am taken away by the island country, in order to prevent the island country from threatening the Chu country with me, I will definitely commit suicide, let their conspiracy come to naught, and not let the Chu country be embarrassed." Taifu said.

Qin Ming was stunned: "It means that I should commit suicide this time?" ”

"The old man just said that if the old man was held hostage, it was just a practice." Taifu said.

Qin Ming: "So, the ministers who just knelt down here are all so loyal?" Such a sacrifice for righteousness? ”

These people nodded shamelessly.

Qin Ming smiled: "Since the ministers are so loyal, then the lower officials will be relieved, and besides, all the ministers have this opportunity." ”

Taifu was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

Qin Ming said: "I'm not afraid to tell you, the island country will continue to kidnap ministers, especially big officials, what prime minister, Taifu, that is the first choice, I hope you will sacrifice your life after being kidnapped, after all, Your Majesty will put the country and society first, and you can't save you." ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers' faces were all ugly.

Prime Minister Zuo was even more surprised and asked, "Is this true?" ”

Qin Ming looked serious: "What am I lying to you for?" ”

Qin Ming is lying now, but he doesn't blink his eyelids.

Although this is not the case, Qin Ming just wants to fabricate it to disgust them, who made them all look like they were sacrificing their lives just now?

Can you still sacrifice your life now?

Obviously, these ministers panicked.

If the people of the island nation do this, then they are really dangerous.

After all, Qin Ming, as a person with martial arts, iron pimple hidden weapons and bombs, can be arrested by the island country.

If the island nation wants to arrest these ministers, isn't there nothing they can do?

Qin Ming's words, all of a sudden, these ministers began to panic.

At the same time, the emperor above was also a little worried, after all, so many ministers were the mainstay of the Chu State, if they were really caught, wouldn't it be troublesome?

However, when he looked at Qin Ming, he suddenly relaxed, because Qin Ming winked at him, and Emperor Chu immediately understood that Qin Ming was just disgusting and scaring these ministers.

So, Emperor Chu also spoke: "I am very touched by the loyalty of the ministers, you can rest assured, if you are really arrested by the island country, I understand your sacrifice and righteousness, and I will definitely not save you, after all, the society of the country is important." ”

Hearing this, many ministers' faces turned white.

But they can't say anything yet, they're really shooting themselves in the foot.

Qin Ming and the emperor sang and harmonized, which embarrassed these ministers, and it could be regarded as a breath of relief.

At this time, the emperor spoke again: "By the way, Qin Ming, how did you come back?" What really happened? ”

When Qin Ming heard this, he said: "That night, I was taken away by a master of the island country, that master can be described as powerful, I fought with him for hundreds of rounds, and was finally caught by him." ”

In saying this, it is nothing more than a reflection of the fact that the masters of the island country are very powerful, which makes these ministers even more afraid.

I heard Qin Ming continue: "After arriving in the island country, the prince of the island country wants to use my bomb to help him unify the world, so where am I willing, so I didn't agree."

Then I was imprisoned, and I tried to find a way to do it, and finally burned down the prince's palace and bombed the palace hall of the island country, accidentally killing the emperor of the island country and dozens of ministers of the island country. ”

Be quiet......

Deathly quiet......

After a long time, the emperor asked, "You say...... What did you blow up? ”

Qin Ming said indifferently: "I blew up the palace hall of the island country, and killed the emperor and dozens of ministers of the island country, and it is estimated that it will be turned into ashes." ”

At this moment, not to mention the civil and military officials present, even the emperor felt that his throat was dry.

He swallowed and said, "You put the island country ...... The emperor and dozens of ministers of the island nation were blown up? ”

Qin Ming said: "That's right, who let them kidnap me, how can I do it without paying a price?" ”

The emperor was stunned for a long time before he looked at Qin Ming with a wry smile and said, "Qin Ming, you are really a ...... Scourge......"
